Salt Lake City Council member Amy Fowler said Tuesday that she will resign her part-time council position after her arrest earlier this month on suspicion of driving under the influence.
On the day of her arrest in Utah County after a crash in Salt Lake County, she was supposed to be in Sanpete County representing an inmate in a criminal assault case.
The council will pick a replacement for Fowler within 30 days of her resignation date. District 7 then will hold an election in November to decide who will serve the final two years of her term.Mayor Erin Mendenhall weighed in on Fowler’s pending departure Tuesday afternoon. “We know this was a difficult decision and we trust it was made with the best interests of District 7 constituents and her personal well-being at heart,” the council said. “We thank Amy for her years of dedicated service to our city and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”, said Fowler’s decision to step down was the right move.
“She stated another vehicle struck her vehicle in Salt Lake [County] but she did not stop because she did not think they stopped,” a trooper wrote in a report. “She had diminished fine motor skills. She could not use her fingertips to hand me documents, she used her whole hand to retrieve papers and hand them over.”
, calling her arrest an “eye-opening” experience that made her reflect on her relationship with alcohol.
